KeybladeSpyMaster - I fight for the Users! TALK - - Greetings, users. System is up, and ready for user input. - 04:31 PM Thu, October 30, 2014 MST CODE 0xKHWV001: SYSTEM START UP First off, yes, this will discuss the Square Enix Wiki, not the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. No, I'm not on the wrong wiki. Basically, TheFifteenthMember and I have taken to trying to revive the Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance by restructuring and building up the Square Enix Wiki. It's coming along quite well. There are some issues, however, which we'd like to discuss with everyone, and since the Kingdom Hearts Wiki is the most active of the wikis involved (the StrategyWiki seems to be opposed to being involved as a wiki), it seems right to post this here. There are several issues that need to be ironed out before general editing can begin. Manual of Style Page formats Game articles Series articles Manga articles Anime articles Company articles People articles Policies for editing, userpages, images, general rules, coverage Affiliates and partner wikis to cover the details on series I think these should be taken care of one topic at a time. So, I feel we should start with the Manual of Style.

Manual of Style

TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 18:33, 31 October 2014 (UTC) The only general tips I can think of for the MoS are: Write from an out of universe perspective. We should mimic Wikipedia in that the articles are focused on the production/development of the game rather than its contents. Summarise. For sections that are about the game itself (plot and gameplay), they should only cover the main points since the respective Wiki should handle all the details. Other than that, most of the other editing guidelines will lie within the article formats.

I took this wiki's Manual of Style as a base/model of what sections to deal with, then went on from there. Square Enix Wiki:Manual of Style

TheFifteenthMember Myes, but THEY didn't know that! We have to consider THEM! And yet we must also be mysterious, myes, myes... — TheFifteenthMember 16:15, 4 November 2014 (UTC) That looks good. Shall we continue to page formats?
